Cardinals Prospect Oscar Taveras Likely To Miss Opening Day

Oscar Taveras‘ ankle problems have lingered following last season’s surgery and now the stud outfield prospect is having hamstring issues in the same leg, so it sounds like the Cardinals have all but ruled out his making the team.

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny told Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post Dispatch that Taveras “needed for everything to go right” to make the team out of spring training to begin with and the injuries have made it impossible to see him in game action.
